If you love African football, the African Nations Championship (often called CHAN) is a must‑follow event. It brings together only players who compete in their home leagues, so you get to see local talent shine on a continental stage. The tournament just wrapped up its latest edition and fans are buzzing about surprise results, breakout stars, and what’s coming next.
The most talked‑about game was the semi‑final where the underdog team from Zambia stunned the favorites with a 2‑1 win. Their striker, who has never played abroad, scored both goals and is now being linked with big clubs in Europe. Meanwhile, host nation Morocco showed why they’re a powerhouse at home, advancing to the final without dropping a point.
Another highlight was the emergence of a young goalkeeper from Senegal’s Ligue 1. He kept three clean sheets and earned a spot on the tournament best‑XI list. His reflexes have already caught the eye of scouts, so you’ll likely see his name pop up in transfer news soon.
Want to keep up with every match? Most games are streamed on local sports channels and a few are available on international platforms like SuperSport. Check the schedule on the official CHAN website for exact kick‑off times – they usually post updates if anything changes.
If you’re into stats, the tournament’s app offers live scores, player ratings, and heat maps. It’s handy when you can’t watch a game but still want to know who’s performing best. Social media accounts of each national team also share highlights, so you’ll never miss a goal.
Looking ahead, the next edition is set for 2027 with a new host country already confirmed. Organizers say they’ll expand the format to include more teams, which means even more chances for local players to get noticed.
For fans who love the community vibe, CHAN also runs youth clinics and fan zones in each host city. It’s a great way to meet fellow supporters and learn about the cultures behind the clubs you’re cheering for.
